@simonlines As you know mate, I was a member for 3 or 4 seasons and ex season ticket holder years ago. I’ve loved this season and have been waiting for it for nearly 40 years. Problem is, with these sorts of prices, I genuinely can’t see me and my lad going to another match ever again.
What a way for Villa to finish an amazing season with a win at the Etihad. Remember us all shitting ourselves about needing to pick up pts against Fulham, Spurs & Burnley as we wouldn’t get anything from Liverpool and City? Funny old game really. #UTV#VTID#HEITS#AVFC
A sensational tribute to one of Birmingham’s greats last night at Villa Park. As a bluenose let me tell you that THIS is the cultural heritage of Birmingham that inspires us. People like @BZephaniah. Not tacky flags on lampposts raised by grifters.
“Concrete with a heartbeat."
@VillaPaddy@SkySportsPL I said exactly this to my lad. In any other realm - finance, arts, history etc, you wouldn’t work again if you demonstrated such non-existent knowledge of the subject matter. For the love of god do some basic game research pre match.
I know Villa listen to supporters generally after a few years of a strained relationship as the club grows and evolves into a fit for purpose 21st century club.
So I'd hope that the club would consider opening Villa Park, big screen, music and celebrate the club on the day of the Final.
Get a couple of local bands, a rousing MC, charge £10 with a free drink or two, and make Villans who can't go to Istanbul feel involved. It's their day too.
Aged 11 i wouldn't have been able to afford to go to Rotterdam but I could have gone to VP and been very excited indeed.
Lots of families who already go to games and are financially stretched deserve to feel the magic, and those kids are the future of our club. Some fireworks, music, pop and crisps for a quid, a beer for the same and all of a sudden we make the most important people at our club who can't go to Istanbul, feel a part of the pride.
Hope @AVFCOfficial gives it a little thought, I'm seeing a huge appetite for it on here.
You can look at that team selection and moan that we’ve made 7 changes. Fair. But that’s not 11 kids from the youth team. Each one of them has played loads of first team football this season.
A simple lack of pride. Pure and simple. #AVFC
One of the worst performances I’ve ever witnessed. As disgusted as I am, I’d be even more furious as a West Ham fan. I think that’s them done now. They deserve better. #AVFC
I’ve been a Villa fan for the best part of 40 years. I’ve seen us field awful players and get battered. Throughout that time we fans ask one thing - you try your hardest. You ain’t got to be the best player but you have to give a shit. That first have was disgusting.
All very well those that are saying it’s not over yet. Of course it’s not. But, why is it always just so predictable. Buendia isn’t good enough. Roger’s looks like he doesn’t give a shit. Watkins got bullied all night by Milenkovic.
I don’t see us scoring at VP based on that.
@danbardell@PreeceObserver@DV1874 Problem is Dan, they know that with the ground 75% full at these prices they’ll still take more money than they would being full at £45 per ticket. Until the match day attendances start to drop in to the 20ks, nothing is going to change.
